Energy Efficiency Tips
- Clean the lint filter of the dryer before or after each load to maintain proper airflow and improve efficiency.
- Use the appropriate wash temperatures as recommended. Set your hot water heater to deliver water at 120–135 ℉ (48–57 ℃) to ensure the appliance can control wash temperatures properly.
- Only run full loads in the washer and dryer to maximize energy use efficiency, or adjust the load size settings if available.
- Ensure proper ventilation for your dryer by regularly cleaning the exhaust duct to avoid lint build-up, which can increase drying time and energy use.
- Turn off the water faucets when the appliance is not in use for extended periods, such as during vacations, to conserve water and energy.
- Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this appliance.
- Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar as it can produce poisonous gas.
- Do not wash or dry articles that have been cleaned in or have been exposed to flammable or explosive substances; this may cause a fire or explosion.
- In the event of a gas leak, do not operate the appliance and ventilate the area immediately.
- Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before performing any maintenance. Simply turning the controls to the OFF position does not disconnect the power.
